The Homemaker of the Dungeon

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 118

Heena smiled.

It was obvious that the topic had been changed to ‘research’ in a hurry, but it was ignored, and Yuhan, who looked like a child who had been robbed of candy, somehow felt like a tantrum.

“You don’t know how great a sense of accomplishment housekeeping gives you. “You and I just have different things we like to do.”

“…That’s because we like different things.”

Yuhan looked down at the floor sullenly for a long time.

And then he opened his mouth in a much calmer voice.

“…So what you’re saying is, let’s focus on spinach applications, right?”

“that’s right. “It may be difficult to explore everything from beginning to end as you would like, but why not go through the applied research process more thoroughly instead?”

Heena offered a compromise.

Seeing Yuhan, who had been acting like a spoiled little monkey, downcast, instead of feeling relieved, made me feel strange.

“Since you are an expert, you should know better, so let’s make another plan. Instead, this time, you will have to explain it step by step without hiding anything from me, your ‘co-researcher.’ “So much was wasted last time because I was swayed by you.”

As I gently comforted him and praised him, Yuhan’s shoulders, which had been noticeably down, slowly rose.

“Well, that’s right. Because I know these things better than you. “I guess experts like me are better than ordinary people…!”

Before we knew it, Yuhan had put his regrets aside and was talking loudly about his future plans.

“First of all, the first thing we have to do is…”

I don’t know why that sight doesn’t seem at all unpleasant.

‘Did you feel any ill-will?’

Heena internally shrugged her shoulders.

* * *

“I’m here!”

Yuhan threw open the office door without knocking.

Even though it was my first visit for two days, it was natural to skip greetings and such, as if we had seen each other only yesterday.

Heena, who had already become accustomed to Yuhan’s attitude, immediately asked about the results.

“What are the research results?”

“There can’t be anything this body can’t do! Look at this!”

Yuhan took out a light green liquid and dark green powder from his inventory with a proud look on his face.

“One extracted the liquid essence through a concentrate extractor, and the other made it into powder through a freeze-drying process.”

Then he continued his explanation.

It was difficult to fully understand because there was a lot of technical terminology, but I was able to get the gist of it.

“You mean they both maintain the benefits of spinach?”

“okay. At first, I approached it like making a potion, but it wasn’t necessary. Even if you go through a simple treatment process, the effect remains constant. The yield is much higher that way and the process is simpler. Ah, but this isn’t as simple as it sounds. There are sections that need to be handled delicately by an excellent alchemist like me…”

Yuhan’s voice rose with excitement.

‘Anyway, if it’s research, you can’t live without it.’

Heena waved her hand with a sigh and cut off his waist.

“okay. “Anyway, this means that you succeeded in processing spinach with your amazing ability, right?”

“Of course!”

“Then which do you think is easier to make: spinach essence or spinach powder?”

The answer came out refreshingly.

“Making spinach powder was much easier. The amount comes out more. Oh, of course, just because it comes in large quantities doesn’t necessarily mean it’s good. “Essence has a much higher effect per gram.”

“Is the essence effect that good?”

“But the amount that comes out is so small… Considering that, I think the total effect can be considered similar to spinach powder.”

Yuhan answered, flipping through his experiment notes.

At the same time, he showed some handwritten tables and graphs, but the handwriting was so bad that it was difficult to read them.

Heena sighed, resting her chin on her chin and lost in thought.

“Then I think it would be better to produce powder by freeze-drying. What do you think?”

They said it was much easier to make spinach powder, so it seemed like it would take less work.

‘Liquids are more difficult to measure than solids…’

In addition, since it is a highly concentrated essence, I was worried that if there was even a slight error in the measurement, there would be a large error.

‘To be precise, Yuhan will be very concerned and make a fuss, right?’

I swallowed the last words and explained the reasons step by step, and Yuhan nodded with satisfaction.

“I heard that it takes three years for Seodanggae to recite Pungwol. I guess you’ve started thinking scientifically too? “Well, the person next to me is a great genius like me…”

At the same time, he began to brag about himself, so he glanced at me and blurted out his words.

“What did you just say to my precious collaborator?”

Then Yuhan hurriedly added.

“Oh no. So… you’re pretty good at it too!”

“okay?”

“…Of course not as much as me!”

Heena ended up looking fed up with the sky-piercing sound.

“Anyway, Yuhan. “Your mouth is free!”

“What am I doing!”

The decision was made quickly.

The two decided to come up with an appropriate item using spinach powder produced through freeze-drying.

“Do you have something in mind? “Cooking is your specialty.”

Yuhan scribbled words on a piece of paper and gestured toward Heena.

Although he has improved his habits through various incidents such as being touched by Heena and receiving threats to his research, he has not been able to completely give up his cocky attitude.

“hmm.”

Heena took out the notebook she had prepared and looked through it.

During the two days that Yuhan was gone, Heena did not just play.

My mind was busy searching for various ideas.

“I have a few things in mind. “When I looked into it, I found that spinach powder and spinach juice were often used as natural colorants.”

As I searched for recipes using natural colorings, I had an idea of what to make and how to make it.

‘It would be better if it were as effective as a liquid potion in a small volume and easy to consume.’

As the candidate group was narrowed down, there were only a few options left.

“How about dango-type rice cakes or sweets… for example, yokan? “Personally, I like yanggaeng the best.”

“Yanggaeng?”

Yuhan raised his eyebrows as if it was a suggestion he had never even thought of.

Heena grinned and explained the reasons one by one.

“okay. Actually, the first thing that came to mind was bite-sized rice cakes, but when I thought about it, it might be a bit dangerous to eat during battle. If you eat too quickly and it gets stuck in your throat, it’s a big problem. So rather than that, I thought about a type of food that would melt in your mouth. Among them, I thought it would be nice to have something similar to Korean food, so I even thought of yanggaeng. Don’t you think it would be perfect because it is soft and melts in your mouth? how is it? “It’s perfect, right?”

Heena finished speaking by tapping her palm on the desk.

Yuhan quickly gave an OK sign as if he agreed with Heena’s opinion.

“Hmm… it’s yanggaeng. Not bad? It tastes sweet, so hunters will like it. “I’m happy because there were only people whining about using potions all the time.”

Heena got excited at the obedient answer and jumped up from her seat.

“Great! In fact, I knew how to do that and even practiced making yanggaeng!”

I was so proud of yesterday’s yanggaeng that I tried making colorful yanggaeng as an exercise.

I bought a lot of small, pretty molds because they look good and are good to eat.

“If I were to make it, I would try to make it like this.”

Heena took out the bean jelly she had stored in the refrigerator and brought it to her.

There was a pile of bite-sized bean curds made from white and black bean paste. The color was shiny and beautiful.

“…oh.”

Without realizing it, Yuhan reached out his hand and picked up a yanggaeng. I picked up something in the shape of a small flower in my hand.

Although it may have been a waste of its pretty appearance, Yuhan ate the yanggaeng and swallowed it in one mouthful.

“…!”

Soon, Yuhan’s eyes widened.

The cold bean jelly that had been left in the refrigerator melted in my mouth. There was no need to chew with your teeth.

The yanggaeng, which seemed hard, instantly softened with saliva and spread in my mouth like a cloud just by pressing it with the tip of my tongue.

The small piece of yanggaeng instantly melted and disappeared in my mouth.

Yuhan was surprised as he licked his appetite with regret.

‘what? ‘Can it taste this sweet?’

Looking at the sweet saliva that pooled under my tongue, it was clearly sweet. But this was different from the usual ‘sweetness’ that Yuhan was familiar with.

It didn’t feel like it would hurt my tongue, and the bitter and savory flavor of the red beans followed by a subtle aftertaste was harmonious.

Yuhan’s stomach was growling and he had skipped breakfast the previous night because he was so focused on research.

Yuhan instinctively reached out for the pile of yanggaeng.

But the first thing Heena did was to pull back the container containing the bean jelly.

Yuhan screamed as if it was unfair.

“ah! why!”

“You can’t eat any more! “I will give the rest as gifts.”

“too bad!”

“I just had one for a sample. What more do you want?”

Heena calmly closed the lid of the bean jelly container.

Actually, I could have given a few more, but when I thought of my other guild mates, I became more determined.

‘Because those people will be much more happy and happy than he is!’

There were many people who would be overjoyed at their small acts of kindness and sincerity.

‘Maybe I’m weaker at flattery and flattery than I thought?’

I was lost in thought while gently scratching my cheek.

When I thought about it, it seemed like since I became a housekeeper, I had only met people who were kind and considerate to Heena.

Of course, there were some hunters, like Yuhan, who spoke informally at first sight.

However, although they only spoke harshly, they were basically easy-going and cheerful people.

Because he expressed his crush on Heena without hesitation!

‘This may be why my first impression of Yuhan was particularly bad.’
